Before you start, here’s a quick reminder of what a carbohydrate is.
Carbs are one of the three macronutrients — the other two being protein and fat — and they’re our body’s main source of energy. There are also two types: complex carbs and simple carbs. The difference is that complex carbs (sweet potatoes, lentils, beans, etc.) will keep you full for much longer than simple carbs (fruit, juice, and candy) because simple carbs are easily digested and turned into energy at a faster pace than complex ones.
We’ve shared lots of great lower-carb recipes over the years, so we decided to gather a bunch of our most delicious roundups here in one place for you — you can either read them now or bookmark them for later.
